Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 23 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The original defendants in this case were jointly sued and were held to be jointly liable in the judgment rendered in the trial court; hence we are under the necessity to treat the judgment appealed from as an entirety. Where a reversal is required as to one party, it will reverse the judgment as a whole. Article 2211, R.S. 1925; Ferguson v. Dickinson (Tex.Civ.App.) 138 S.W. 221 ; Southwestern Telegraph Telephone Co. v. Long (Tex.Civ.App.) 183 S.W. 421 .”
